Ladies and gents, as promised.. here is the dust jacket layout for THE NOCTURNE - soon to be published by Bloodletting Press.

There is some debate about whether or not any future Gerlach Library releases through Bloodletting will have a dust-jacket at all... so it's quite possible this dust jacket will NEVER be used. If you'd like to have your copy of THE NOCTURNE with a dust jacket, and to continue the same "look and feel" for every Gerlach release, email Bloodletting and let them know you want the dust-jackets to remain!

As promised, we bring you the world-wide exclusive unveiling of the artwork for THE NOCTURNE.

This excellent piece was painted by Vince Natale, who also created the covers for Love Lies Dying and Lake Mountain.

I'm sure you will agree it's a stunning visual interpretation of the novel.

THE NOCTURNE is due out soon through Bloodletting Press. We'll have the dust jacket artwork to upload here soon.

My new short story, DOWN ON KATY - DAY IX has been written for the Larry Roberts, Bloodletting Press, FIRST CUTS project. This was a secret project that was designed as a tribute to the earliest days of Bloodletting Books.

The anthology was delivered to Larry on Halloween, much to his surprise and delight as all knowledge of this project was kept from him. It will probably be published next year.

Many thanks to David Niall Wilson - the brains behind the project.

In a recent Bloddletting Press update, we found the following gem:

"LOVE LIES DYING by Steve Gerlach is being proofed right now and we'll start laying out the book in the next few weeks."

Excellent news! Look for this extra special edition in early 2006. It would appear that this will be crammed with extras! More news when we have it!

Bloodletting Press - Latest News

LOVE LIES DYING by Steve Gerlach
http://www.bloodlettingbooks.com/lolidybystge.html

Format: Only 300 signed limited edition hardbacks will be published.

Introduction by Brian Keene and an afterword by Steve Gerlach and a very special guest.

Publication date is Winter 2005.

Publisher: Bloodletting Press

Publisher's Description:

She was on his sofa, reading a book. She was a complete stranger.

And she was naked…

Her name was Zoe, and she had survived a horrific ordeal.

Fleeing from trouble and the threat of death, Zoe turned to her best friend, Helen. Driving for three days straight, she arrived cold and hungry on Helen's doorstep.

But Helen was at work. Leaving Helen's husband, John, and Zoe together…all alone.

Having escaped from a life of terror and violence, Zoe was sure she could hide with them for a while. Just long enough to get back on her feet and her life in order again.

John's only mistake was to agree she could stay with them…

Because Zoe's past was fast catching up with her.

And that past would draw them all into a game of life and death.

By letting her stay, John had no idea of the horror that would be visited on them all…

For someone had a game to finish – a game that could turn very deadly indeed.

LOVE LIES DYING

You always love,
The ones you hurt...

(STAY TUNED FOR MORE INFO ON THE LETTERED EDITION

Hot off the presses... this is EXCLUSIVE BREAKING NEWS!
Bloodletting Press is soon to announce that due to the response from pre-orders of LOVE LIES DYING, they will be producing the first ever US hardback edition of HUNTING ZOE - the "sequel" to LOVE LIES DYING. And this edition will be packed with surprises, including stunning cover art and some extras that have never seen the light of day before, which is probably why the full title of the book is HUNTING ZOE AND OTHER TALES. More news can be found on the Bloodletting Press website soon (and also in their latest newsletter), and we'll keep you up to date with news about this release too.
Make no mistake, HUNTING ZOE is very very important to the whole LOVE LIES DYING series... (that's right - SERIES) for reasons that will become clearer in the months ahead. Pre-orders are available through www.bloodlettingbooks.com and www.shocklines.com now.

Here's an exclusive look at the final full-cover artwork for the Bloodletting Press US version of LOVE LIES DYING. It's interesting to compare the final cover to the original artwork. We all agree both are stunning!

Following the success of LOVE LIES DYING Bloodletting Press quickly announced the follow-up "sequel" HUNTING ZOE would follow by the end of 2007. This new edition is a signed limited edition hardback of only 300 copies. If you purchased LOVE LIES DYING through Bloodletting, they'll be able to match your numbers. This edition will include some amazing extras, including Gerlach short stories and an up-to-date interview. The artwork was quickly published and caused a STORM or controversy at Shocklines. Personally, we think people should read the novel before passing judgement on the cover. We think it ROCKS! :) It's reproduced here in full (click on the image for a larger view). Pre-orders can be taken here: www.bloodlettingbooks.com and www.shocklines.com.

www.bloodlettingbooks.com has released photos of the final design for the lettered edition traycase of LAKE MOUNTAIN. As you can see, the traycase is designed as a trailer (or caravan, depending where you live in the world) and looking through the window, you can see Raven staring out at you. There's even a little light inside, so when it's dark she can keep an eye on everything you do! This is another great design from Bloodletting, who have also produced the fantastic traycase for RAGE.

We also have an exclusive sneak peek at the cover artwork that will be gracing Book One of the 1000 Mettle Folds series, which is also being released by Bloodletting. Current artwork is below, and the same style and feel will grace all five books in the series.

Bloodletting Press announced this week that the limited edition hardback versions of both LAKE MOUNTAIN and LOVE LIES DYING are now SOLD OUT from the publisher!

The latest news from Bloodletting Press is that work is almost complete on the Hunting Zoe lettered editions!
They've decided to go with the yellow on this one. The PC copies will likely be done in the pink. All lettereds will be bound in butter soft calf. Inside we have yellow Spanish marbled endpapers, with a silk ribbon marker, finished off with a silk inlay signature sheet protector.


Pictures of the traycase will follow shortly.

Bloodletting Press have done a fantastic job on these copies and they are already SOLD OUT from the publisher, but a search of the web may turn up a copy or two... Zoe couldn't ask for more.
